Not quite a BOS, but nice to near nonetheless: Roger Waters looking for the Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. OK song, but the chorus just seems out of place with the rest of it.


"did you understand the music, Yoko? Or was it all in vain?"

As I've said before, this is a total Narada to me; I'd never heard it until Dave played it. I'm guessing prog radio in NY avoided it for fear of offending you-know-who with the above lyric.
It was pretty well-played on KFOG back in the day.  Nice U2 song.  And always good to hear Talk Talk.  I've heard some of their more obscure songs on Radio Paradise.  Really good stuff worth checking out.

Really good ending to this set.

the last three songs of this set were very nice, I must say.

esp Talk Talk.

Ooooh!  Big BOS #2 for the Thompson Twins before I run.

I've just joined the action  on the replay and am giving the TTs a Big Big BOS as well.

Continuing to get betta: BOS2 The Time Jungle Love.

(And this one seems to be a bustout, although I'd swear we heard it recently.)
It was in the Casey '80s countdown last week (TANC!), and interesting re Dave's comment, Casey announced that the band had broken up!
